“The most challenging part in writing ‘Lakiriboto Chronicles’ was creating characters that are not flat, especially as the major one has mental health challenges. Also, being able to navigate the thin line between demonizing or worse still, caricaturing an illness that affects millions of people in varying degrees. I had to write and rewrite based on feedback from experts in the field of psychiatry and also readers. I wrote and rewrote the character for nearly two years.”

“Lakiriboto in Yoruba means a woman who cannot be ‘mounted’. It is many layered. As with many words that are from traditional Yoruba world, many people misunderstand it. I chose the title because the book is about women who refuse to be mounted or controlled by the society. The book is about women who take charge of their sexuality, their finances and fates.”
